Hands Ashford New Zealand was established in 1981. Heather and Brian Guthrie started the business selling spinning and weaving equipment, manufactured by Ashford Handicrafts Ltd.

As demand grew, unusual and interesting craft supplies were sourced from around the world.

Today, handcraft classes and workshops encourage customers to try new crafts. Mail order, charge accounts to schools and institutions, and now internet orders and enquiries have extended the store's network of customers.
